According to Philip Brohan, the head of our science team:
From the weather point of view this is a great example of the typical daily pattern of observations - you can see the clear diurnal cycle in air and water temperatures, with the air temperature changing much more than the water temperature. On this page you can see the interaction between clouds and temperature, with the air cooling fast late in the day when the clouds clear.
